Privacy screen, what would you do?

Actually between the two terraces - a cool recessed one, with a wooden cladding

Don't you think that the gawking will calm down over time? We built in a gap between houses and residents from the 1950s. Naturally, they are curious and watch every move and every little thing that happens there. If I were old and construction was going on next to me after half an eternity, I would probably like to watch too.

Be careful with ivy if you want to cut it. Don't ask how I look when I shorten the one that covers the wall on the neighbor's side. And it has to go. It already starts to itch when I get close. So, on our side. I saw instructions on Pinterest the other day on how to cover the Framepool with wood. It looked good.

Don't overestimate the staring. From the doctor's waiting room, you can look through the children's room window almost to the bathroom door. I have never seen anyone stare intentionally and out of curiosity. Except for the man of the cleaning lady.

Yes, that's true. He is also nice. Nevertheless, for the future we would like a nice privacy screen on this side.

I find that ivy always hides a lot of bugs, which then all end up in the pool. Therefore, I rather recommend the trumpet vine. It climbs like ivy but is nicer to look at.
